TABLE 1

Prediction of metabolic clearance from human hepatocyte CLint Results are expressed as the mean CLint ± standard deviation from n >3 donors. Results not expressing a S.D. are from <3 donors. The CLint determinations were carried out as described under Materials and Methods. All substrates were not incubated in the same donor livers. Assays were performed in triplicate. Compounds are classified as neutrals (N), bases (B), or zwitterions (Z).
